“Fox News Sunday” has Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), members of the bipartisan “Gang of Six” senators who are trying to facilitate a spending compromise.

On ABC, Christiane Amanpour anchors “This Week” live from Japan, which is struggling to recover from the historic earthquake and tsunami that has devastated the island nation.

CBS’s “Face the Nation” also focuses on the disaster and the violent unrest in Libya with guests Sens. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

And C-SPAN’s “Newsmakers” guest is Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, who’ll be questioned by POLITICO’s Jonathan Allen and The Hill’s Erik Wasson.

Finally, TV One’s “Washington Watch” examines the impact of budget cuts on the nation’s cities with Mayors Kasim Reed of Atlanta, Vincent Gray of Washington and Robert Bowser of East Orange, N.J.
Freshman Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) also stops by to talk tea party politics, as does former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell to disccuss the turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East.

Goodness. No Rep. Keith Ellison? Both Chris Matthews and the Washington Post told us he was the tragic face of a hero. He stood up to the Islamophobic Republican, Rep. King which was the same thing as standing up to Sen. Joe McCarthy..ad nasuem. Even Bill O'Reilly raced to have the weeping Mr. Ellison on his show..first...so all of the USA could understand just how inhumanely the wretched American People had treated a true Islamic Hero. ONE PROBLEM..IT WAS NOT TRUE. And hold your breath until O'REilly admits he blew it. He slips more and more..Those old Harvard roots..those "Kool" Krowd ties..disappointing to the max.

WHAT ELLISON SAID..."After the tragedy some people tried to smear his character solely because of his Islamic faith. Some people spread false rumors and speculated that he was in league with the attackers only because he was Muslim. It was only when his remains were identified that these lies were fully exposed. Mohammed Salman Hamdani was a fellow American who gave his life for other Americans. His life should not be defined as a member of an ethnic group or a member of a religion, but as an American who gave everything for his fellow citizens."

Does Ellison’s account check out with reality?

No. It is actually pretty close to the opposite of the truth. In fact, six weeks after the September 11 attacks — before Hamdani’s remains were identified, which Ellison implies to be the turning point of public perception — Congress signed the PATRIOT Act into law with this line included: “Many Arab Americans and Muslim Americans have acted heroically during the attacks on the United States, including Mohammed Salman Hamdani, a 23-year-old New Yorker of Pakistani descent, who is believed to have gone to the World Trade Center to offer rescue assistance and is now missing.” That is, Hamdani was actually singled out for particular high honors among the thousands of victims of the September 11 attacks.

There’s little evidence of the “rumors” of which Ellison speaks, either. Poke around yourself. Go to Google and search for Mohammed Salman Hamdani’s name, using various time frames from before today’s hearings (say, in the week after the September 11 attack). You’ll discover two discordant sets of returns: none for sites and news reports accusing Hamdani of being a terrorist, and many thousands of pages honoring him as a hero while claiming that he was “widely accused” of being a terrorist.'(exposingliberallies)

In Addition, the Islamic Hero's MOther was awarded millions of dollars from the billions of dollars raised from private citizens from all over the world for the heros and survivors of 9/11.

NO RETRACTION WILL BE FORTHCOMING..........COUNT ON IT. TAKE O'REILLY WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AFTER HIS RUSH TO DEMONIZE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. AND ELLISON KNEW WHO FRANK GRAFFNEY WAS.(IMHO)..EVERYONE KNOWS HIM. HE HAS BEEN ON CABLE NEWS ABOUT A MILLION TIMES.

And of course the Ugly stories out of Dayton, Ohio will NEVER be discussed on any of these leftist Programs. EVEN when the local NAACP..says Holder and Obama have gone too far in imposing racial quotas and affirmative action in their city.

"DAYTON -- The Dayton Police Department is lowering its testing standards for recruits.

It's a move required by the U.S. Department of Justice after it says not enough African-Americans passed the exam.

Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test. Under the previous requirements, candidates had to get a 66% on part one of the exam and a 72% on part two.

The D.O.J. approved new scoring policy only requires potential police officers to get a 58% and a 63%. That's the equivalent of an ‘F’ and a ‘D’. “It becomes a safety issue for the people of our community,” said Dayton Fraternal Order of Police President, Randy Beane. “It becomes a safety issue to have an incompetent officer next to you in a life and death situation."

“The NAACP does not support individuals failing a test and then having the opportunity to be gainfully employed,” agreed Dayton NAACP President Derrick Foward.

The D.O.J. and Civil Service Board declined Dayton’s News Source’s repeat requests for interviews. The lower standards mean 258 more people passed the test. The city won't say how many were minorities.

“If you lower the score for any group of people, you're not getting the best qualified people for the job,” Foward said.

“We need to work with the youth and make them interested in becoming law enforcement officers and firefighters,” said Beane. “Break down the barriers whether they are real or perceived, so we can move forward in this community.”

The D.O.J. has forced other police departments across the country to lower testing standards, citing once again that not enough black candidates were passing. The Dayton Firefighter recruit exam is coming up this summer. The chief said it’s likely the passing score for that test will be lowered as well.Civil Service Board Announces Police Recruit Scores"

This imposition of racial quotas is illegal. Or it used to be. This Affirmative Action extends to Blacks who were historically wronged in the USA..back to the 1965 ACT, which has been expanded to include Hispanics, Muslim, Jewish People, Women, Any religious or ethnic minority, Any person to whom English is a second language..GOOD LANGUAGE TRAINING PROGRAM..LET THEM LEARN ENGLISH WHILE WORKING AS A COP OR A FIREFIGHTER..GOOD THINKING HERO ERIC HOLDER..GOOD THINKING..TEAMOBAMA...

ANY PERSON....IS NOW IN LINE TO BE A USA POLICEMAN..OR FIREMAN..UNLESS YOU ARE MALE..ONE OF THE ETHNIC GROUPS KNOWS AS WHITE..BORN IN THE USA...AND A NATIVE BORN ENGLISH SPEAKER. TALK ABOUT RACIAL POLITICS..BUT THEN...........NO ONE WILL TALK ABOUT IT...WILL THEY? HOLDER AND OBAMA CAN UNDO THE USA...KNOWING THE MEDIA WILL PROTECT THEM 24/7. IT WILL BE A GOOD DAY WHEN THEY ARE REPLACED..BUT THEN WE WON'T READ ABOUT THAT EITHER. WHAT GOES AROUND..COMES AROUND.

IS TEAM OBAMA...ERIC HOLDER NOW GOD? THEY CAN SUE ARIZONA. THEY CAN NOT ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAW. THEY CAN THROW OUT LEGAL TESTS FOR JOBS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT LIKE THE RACIAL RESULTS..AND THERE ARE NO CLAIMS OF BIAS OR RACIAL PREJUDICE. THEY JUST DOES NOT LIKE THE RESULTS NO JUDGE. NO JURY. NO PROOF. JUST THEY SAID.IT ...LET IT DONE.

So..Policing is now a Jobs Program for troubled minority youthsz? Firefighting the same? This is the "CHANGE" Obama promised? And Can you think of a better way to destroy the Police Forces in the USA..who are the least corrupt in the world..and who have a close bond with the American People..or at least those not brainwashed against them?

POLICE...in WISCONSIN..FireFighters in WISCONSIN..YOUR UNION IS DOWN WITH THIS!!! YOU ARE BEING USED FOR FOOLS!!!! " CHECK OUT WHERE S.E.I.U STAND ON THIS..AND THEN TAKE A LOOK IN YOUR MIRROR......

And of course the Ugly stories out of Dayton, Ohio will NEVER be discussed on any of these leftist Programs. EVEN when the local NAACP..says Holder and Obama have gone too far in imposing racial quotas and affirmative action in their city.

This Affirmative Action extends to Blacks who were historically wronged in the USA..back to the 1965 ACT, which has been expanded to include Hispanics, Muslim, Jewish People, Women, Any religious or ethnic minority, Any person to whom English is a second language..pretty much everyone who is not a native born English speaker who belongs to any ethnic group termed "white" by the Obama.Holder Administration.

Quotas are illegal..or so I thought. Some evidence of bias, or injustice is required before tests can be thrown out, or so I thought. Actually...IS TEAM OBAMA...ERIC HOLDER NOW GOD?
